    Anyone able to help out with a PE from @Melinapex in apex to anywhere near rocky mount? I’d be glad to offer some gas money for your troubles. It is a mobile base for a table saw so not a huge heavy part to move.

    We changed out our painted front door and vinyl side windows for an all mahogany entrance into the house. One coat of stain has been applied to darken it up a bit. Now I need to apply a finish to it. I was originally thinking a few coats of spar would do the job but am wondering what you all...

    Cutting board question

    I see most cutting board threads say they are made from end grain blocks. Is this a must? I mostly turn my projects but would like to give a cutting board a try.
